Davincis great, they lost some hype for me since you now need premium for the free user created addons
QKSMS isn’t maintained anymore. There is an active fork called: QUIK
FUTO voice and keyboard are open source, but not free… Just sayin’
Payment is optional.
I love Aves’ functionalities and speed, but I can’t stand its UI design. Who TF thought it would look good to have a bright and glowing ring around photo folder thumbnails in an otherwise minimalistic UI?
I really didn’t like the UI too at first. It felt odd since no app looks like that.
Now that I’m used to it’s functionality, I am totally blind to the colorful rings. I barely notice the colors.
Oh I just noticed I can turn it off.
But it still has a white ring on every folder which is ugly.
The dev is also a dickhole
I am not surprised but please elaborate.

Damn near every tool I use on PC, really. Audacity, OBS, VLC, all the random bits of software I need to run my jank-ass FBT setup…
A bit more niche, is Weasis - Dicom Browser for medical images. Alternative is also ImageJ which is used a lot in for scans too.
CalTopo - free, with paid option worth every penny. Exceptionally good (intuitive, simple, utilitarian) wilderness mapping platform.
KiCad. GNU Linux. Blender. Gqrx. Rclone. Syncthing
I still can’t get used to calling programs apps
Signal. Highly secure communication. No ads. Easy to use.
Librewolf, FFmpeg, Vim, Wine
YouTube clients like NewPipe
Home Assistant, not only an App but it changed the way i look at IoT/Smarthome and in that way it brings me a lot of comfort.
Organic Maps. After switching to graphene, I quickly found plenty of apps replacing the “defaults” I had on stock android, however, a good app for maps was impossible to find until I stumbled over that one. Great UI, local maps, even has a navigation feature. Completely replaces google maps for me.
Kodi—It can connect to a media source via FTP, so I was able to effortlessly connected it to my online storage to download shows and movies from it to watch on the fly, and on my TV no less. Without that, it’d be a huge pain just to get the file onto my TV.
SmartTube—It’s an ad-free YouTube video app for Android TVs, and it has Sponsorblock included. You could say it’s YouTube Vanced for Android TVs.
Discord bots—I’ve setup my own personal Discord server (no other humans allowed in it) and set it up with various bots that do things ranging from posting tweets/ posts from Twitter/ Bluesky to letting me know when specific channels have uploaded a new video on YouTube or gone live on Twitch. I’ve also got another bot monitoring some RSS feeds.
The Dialer.
- Comes with every phone
- 10+ digit number instantly connects you with millions of people, services, and institutions
- 3 digits connects you with life-saving emergency support
- Very low-latency voice support
- High quality audio (most of the time)
- No ads
- No obnoxious UI
All kidding aside, I’m routinely astounded at how we have yet to top the ease and utility of old-fashioned phone service.
Jellyfin.
